Goodbye 2011, go die in a ditch. 00:04:35, 2012-01-01
Spent midnight realising I can't stomach mulled wine anymore. 00:06:39, 2012-01-01

What the devil happened to the footage they used at the end? It's so skewed it (@YouTube http://t.co/CNvQWibt) 16:49:59, 2012-01-01
@PennyRed Very good article thankyou! A extra sobering note is to recall such tabloids used 16yo topless page 3 girls until the end of 2003. in reply to PennyRed 18:41:43, 2012-01-01
If you own a pre-2004 copy of The Sun or Daily Sport, you may well be in possession of child pornography due to 16yo page 3 girls. 18:44:13, 2012-01-01
There's a thought.. these papers keep copies of all their back-issues, don't they? So they're hoarding child pornography? 18:45:20, 2012-01-01
Okay, think the FLAC encoder's working right again now. 19:27:59, 2012-01-01
I think more than half my music collection consists of ripped CDs that have come free with newspapers or I've found in bins. 19:31:33, 2012-01-01
@sevenhelz It is. Worse, that means tomorrow is a Monday. :( in reply to sevenhelz 19:34:43, 2012-01-01
Current music library.. 2452 tracks; 4days, 23hrs, 2min, 35sec playtime. Removed the non-music audio files. 19:41:20, 2012-01-01
@Muzkip *hugs to the both of you* :( in reply to Muzkip 19:44:29, 2012-01-01
Just seen a cute comic on FA. Apparently 2012 is so feared the Chinese have changed it to be the year of the Velociraptor. 20:06:22, 2012-01-01
Huh, article from 2009 about IBM wanting to patent the Laugh Track for use on conference calls. http://t.co/G5GJ32oF 20:08:32, 2012-01-01
..the laugh track being triggered automatically by any silence over a particular threshold length sounds a poor choice though. 20:09:45, 2012-01-01
"I'm sorry.. she died during the night." *shocked pause* *phone system bursts into laughter* Good one IBM. 20:10:46, 2012-01-01

@AdriOfTheDead The reply from the "girlfriend" is "That will break the restraining order. I'm calling the police!" in reply to AdriOfTheDead 00:37:53, 2011-12-31
@retallicka Aside from possibly nursing a hangover, no. :) in reply to retallicka 00:40:45, 2011-12-31
These "Choccy Munchy Seeds" get my thumbs-up! Dark chocolate coated with chilli and ginger. <3 00:41:55, 2011-12-31
@retallicka Thinking of anything in particular? in reply to retallicka 00:43:15, 2011-12-31
@retallicka Sounds like an excellent idea :) in reply to retallicka 00:49:08, 2011-12-31
Ordered some new Mach 3 blades. Thankyou ebay for making people sell things at silly-slow prices. Only £9 for 8! 01:32:14, 2011-12-31
I seem to be drawing a dragon-girl with dreadlocks in a bikini. Most of a bikini. 01:33:04, 2011-12-31
Scanning picture~ Will do a little sketch update to my blog too I think. 02:39:25, 2011-12-31
Okay HP, what's the point of having a "cancel" button on the scan progress bar if it DOESN'T actually cancel the scan? 02:41:46, 2011-12-31
Dragonkini pic uploaded. http://t.co/xSLrqNi7 Dumping to blog next before bed. 02:50:24, 2011-12-31

@ZeroShiBlue What is it you're doing a course in? in reply to ZeroShiBlue 03:58:09, 2011-12-31
@ZeroShiBlue Do not envy. Did some of it back at Engineering College before I crashed out. in reply to ZeroShiBlue 04:03:16, 2011-12-31
@ZeroShiBlue Still, it's very useful. I've got to try and refresh myself on it to get the most out of the CNC mill I'm retrofitting. in reply to ZeroShiBlue 04:07:52, 2011-12-31
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/WqQxrQqQ Easy Paint tool Saï Coloring Tutorial Basics 04:15:38, 2011-12-31

@Lizardbeth Likewise! Hoping I can keep the small start of the past few days going. :) in reply to Lizardbeth 18:04:33, 2011-12-31
Don't know if/what's going on tonight, but staying in. Will make mulled wine. Am already feeling pretty tired. 20:01:54, 2011-12-31
@tajasel That's not a very good punchline. :( in reply to tajasel 20:04:32, 2011-12-31

Feeling quite caffeinated and wondering about co-opting mitochondria as as a sub-cellular interface & diagnostic device. 00:34:24, 2011-12-30
Good grief, how was "caffeinated" not in the Chrome spell-check dictionary? Who wrote it? 00:35:10, 2011-12-30
Anyone know a single-click way of changing WinXP sound-settings between defined profiles? Considering a bluetooth headset. 00:44:10, 2011-12-30
UK Ebay seller, how are my items already "dispatched" at 0030, especially when I bought then at 2200? 00:57:52, 2011-12-30

Bed soon. 02:48:52, 2011-12-30
Also research suggests I want to find some Shimano Freehubs to modify. Will check my bike-parts pile tomorrow. 02:49:29, 2011-12-30
The hardest part of researching anything new is finding out what the bits are actually called. Or what a field of research is called. 02:56:19, 2011-12-30
@mothdust Because if you do, the elves will steal your toes. in reply to mothdust 03:14:17, 2011-12-30

4am isn't the usual time for cleaning up your bedroom, I know, but tomorrow I'll be able to sit on the sofa to draw. 04:34:39, 2011-12-30
Also got a fair ebay pile to sell. Anyone want a fishtank? That'll be an arse to ship. 04:35:44, 2011-12-30

Found the link. The up to date wikipedia dump-file is 7.3Gb compressed. 31Gb uncompressed. 18:50:14, 2011-12-30
That's the closest thing to the sum of all human knowledge in one place, and it would fit on a £5 microSD card the size of my fingertip. 18:51:11, 2011-12-30
Please, anyone who fights copyright & censorship of the net, take a bag of them along to hearings. The ultimate "Your Argument Is Invalid". 18:52:45, 2011-12-30
More RAM and a proper graphics card ordered for mum's PC. Hopefully will speed it up a lot. 19:46:10, 2011-12-30
@retallicka Still got that LCD you wanted repaired. Don't think it'll happen. Stumbling across compatible spares unlikely. Chuck or return? 19:50:12, 2011-12-30
James Bond soundtrack, good listening. By the far the most stylish rapist. 19:51:13, 2011-12-30
The case of Stephen Hawkings voice synth sounds like an excellent media-savvy example of why medical prosthetics should be open-source. 20:10:05, 2011-12-30
@jeriellsworth Jeri, this sounds like something your IC reverse-eng skills might be good for? http://t.co/WFBizExc 20:14:07, 2011-12-30
@warrenellis Goddamit, you had to tempt fate with that "Godzilla Bukake" thing, didn't you? http://t.co/Ehk1LoHx 20:18:39, 2011-12-30
@jackalesque Hot water bottles! in reply to jackalesque 20:27:57, 2011-12-30

Digging into the eaves, mining old computer parts. 22:11:30, 2011-12-30
Is "Left Bank Two" by "The Noveltones" public domain yet? Apparently the Noveltones was just a name given to some anonymous musicians. 22:35:45, 2011-12-30
Can't find any information about the composer "Wayne Hill", so don't know if/when he died. Would be 70yrs from that point? 22:36:40, 2011-12-30
..but only 50yrs from the point of it being *recorded*? Which is it? 22:37:41, 2011-12-30

Hmph. Vertical travel's only 97mm not 100mm. Irksome. May be able to get a little more after cleanup of gearing. 00:17:15, 2011-12-29
On the upside, have found the main casting's hollow. Might be able to put a lighting unit in there. 00:19:25, 2011-12-29
Lots of swarf and paint chips. This is going to need a proper clean-up. 00:39:13, 2011-12-29
For now, should head in. 00:39:28, 2011-12-29
The PM's having his own iPad app made to help him run the country? This can't possibly go wrong. 02:32:54, 2011-12-29
@Eithin Wonder if this app will be made available to following Prime Ministers? Does this mean the UKgov will be tied to Apple products now? in reply to Eithin 03:12:22, 2011-12-29
@Houndloaf Hobo? in reply to Houndloaf 05:29:11, 2011-12-29

If the UK police force is going to be privatised, will the law against police strike action still hold? 14:23:38, 2011-12-29

Has anyone else used eBid? Can't see how to actually *pay* for an item on it. Have requested an invoice. 00:35:04, 2011-12-28
@sevenhelz Warm dry socks are serious business though!! O_O in reply to sevenhelz 00:36:00, 2011-12-28
Whew, got a sketch out of my head as I imagined it :) 04:45:22, 2011-12-28
Been up sketching. Can't sleep now though. FA pagecount is at 3996.. no, 3997! Who'll get the big 4k?? 05:21:48, 2011-12-28
FA page is at 4001 views! But no one's messaged about it. 14:07:11, 2011-12-28
Also the first time I've had someone delete a comment on a submission. Wonder what it said? 14:09:29, 2011-12-28
@avon_deer Is a deleted comment actually a comment tho? in reply to avon_deer 14:22:50, 2011-12-28
@sevenhelz Between Sean Kennedy's comments about foot-care & a story of a U-boat commander's socks, got to be serious about it. in reply to sevenhelz 14:54:02, 2011-12-28
